Is Ottawa Pulling A Toronto?

The Ottawa Senators are red hot right now.

Over their past ten games, they’re 9-1-0. With ten games remaining, they’re currently 7 points out of the final playoff spot.

The three teams they’re chasing (Montreal, Florida and Buffalo) all are playing some of their worst hockey of the season.

It’s a tough road to the finish, but the Snators appear to be following in the footsteps of their provincal rivals. It always seems like the Maple Leafs make a huge last minute run only to fall just short.

Is Ottawa’s run going to go the same way, or do they have enough momentum to squeeze into the final spot? History would suggest they’ll fall short. One of the three teams is bound to shake off their bad play and clinch.
